Seattle Chocolates Truffle 65% cacao


I do not usualy venture into the area of "truffle" chocolates, but since this bar calls itself "extreme dark" I thought I would give it a try. On closer examination of the label, the cocoa content is a mere 65%, which rates as "middling" dark, hardly extreme. Yet the bar is indeed quite strong in cocoa flavor. Some bitterness, but this is balanced by a sweetness. I suspect that the "truffling" of the bar brings out the sugar's contribution. No notable flavors beyond the cocoa. 6.3
